An Introduction to the Republic of Texas

An Introduction
to theRepublic of Texas

The major media outlets have referred to the Republic
of Texas as a "movement. " The truth is that the
Republic
of Texas is a NATION, and has been such since 1836 when
it was established by the People of Texas, who won independence from Mexico.
The "movement " that exists is the People of Texas working to lawfully
reclaim the soil of Texas from the United States which has held Texas as
a captured nation since 1865.
The congress of the United States failed from 1836 until 1845 to annex
Texas to the U.S. as a state because they did not have the authority
under their constitution to do so. They finally passed a resolution
(an agreement which is only a statement of intent and has no force of law)
to annex Texas. In 1861, the People of Texas, by popular vote, exercised
their right under the resolution to withdraw from the agreement. They,
as a separate and independent nation, formed an alliance with the southern
States of the United States. They did not become a confederate state, but
were merely allied with them. After the civil war, the Union Army came
to the Southern States and also to Texas and took over by military force
and rule. There was never another document done to lawfully bring Texas
into the Union of States. It was simply taken over and run by the military.
On March 30, 1870, the congress of the United States passed a special
act allowing Texas to be represented in congress. This is the deception
that has led everyone to believe that Texas was indeed part of the United
States. The fact that Texas is not, and never has been, lawfully a part
of the United States is one that is not palatable to many because of our
emotional ties to the beliefs we have held all our lives. But belief
does not change fact! When we come to learn the facts of how the People
of Texas have had their freedoms eroded by involuntary servitude to unlawful
governments, and when we realize that we have the chance once again to
be truly free to own property and exercise our rights to " Life, Liberty
and the Pursuit of Happiness," we can begin to overcome those emotional
ties in favor of the excitement of the possibility of being truly FREE
as
God and our forefathers intended.
As you review the information on this website, you will see the work
that has been done to proclaim to the world that we have found out who
we are - Free people of a Sovereign Nation - and you will also see
what has been done to reclaim our sovereignty and independence.
